Mounting the Edge DVR

The LH310 Series Edge DVR is designed to mount securely to the back of LCD monitors with a VESA mount. However, if desired, you can also leave the DVR in a standard horizontal position.

ATTENTION: YOU CAN ONLY MOUNT THE EDGE DVR TO AN LCD MONITOR WITH A VESA MOUNT AND AN INDEPENDENT STAND.

Screw the provided mounting screws into the two top holes in the rear panel of your LCD monitor. Make sure the screws are only 3/4 of the way in; this will allow sufﬁcient clearance to hang the Edge DVR.

Carefully place the Edge DVR (front panel facing up) over the screws and slide down into place.

Powering ON the Edge DVR
